The most durable storage device as it has not moving parts
A
Solid State Storage
B
Magnetic Storage
C
Optical Storage
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solid state technology is used in storage media such as solid state drives (SSD) and USB flash drives. The technology is called solid state as it does not have any moving parts, unlike magnetic and optical devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solid state devices use non-volatile random access memory (RAM) to store data indefinitely. They tend to have much faster access times than other types of device and, because they have no moving parts, are more durable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conventional drives tend to wear out after about three years of use. SSDs don’t use conventional spinning “platters” to store data, so there are fewer moving parts. Under optimal conditions, an SSD can be used for ten years or more without any hardware issues. This makes SSD ideal for long term data storage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because it has no moving parts, an SSD is not subject to the same mechanical failures that can occur in HDDs. SSDs are also quieter and consume less power. And because SSDs weigh less than hard drives, they are a good fit for laptop and mobile computing devices.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solid-state storage (SSS) is a type of computer storage media that stores data electronically and has no moving parts. Solid state storage is made from silicon microchips. Because there are no moving parts, SSDs require less power and produce far less heat than spinning hard disk drives or magnetic tape.
